technology is laughing at me and a guest post

I need a drink people. A nice stiff G&T for breakfast sounds right. This week I've had to put my trusty laptop to rest. (hand over heart) She was a good little red laptop and I'll miss her. But luckily the smarty pants at the Apple store were able to save most of my data and I now have a new computer. Not really what I wanted to spend $$ on, but damn is she pretty. So while I figure out my new world of computing I'll be taking the day off from Fess Up Friday. And if I owe you an email. its coming, as soon as I figure out where my email is.

I took a 13 year hiatus on technology several years ago and wham bam the world had changed. I once lost my mail icon (postal stamp looking thing). It's hideously easy to do with Mac's dock. You can vaporize it while your hand is on the mouse and your head is somewhere else! I've always named my Macs. My first itsy B&W Mac was Eve. Today, I've got the biggest, baddest, fastest girl I've name Lilith. Growing older has made me bolder. BTW when I start J-school in 1967, "electronic media" were the three IBM selectric typewriters. Yes. I am a dinosaur! Happy Easter.
